Best Buy has announced that the Metallic Blue HTC One for Verizon, Sprint and AT&T will go on sale September 15. The phone will be carried at all Best Buy retail and online outlets. Pricing details for the Metallic Blue HTC One were not listed, but it’s safe to assume it will carry the same price as the other HTC One color options offered by the various service providers.

The award-winning HTC One will be available in a stunning new Metallic Blue exclusively through Best Buy in the United States with the option of 4G LTE service from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon at the more than 1,400 Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores as well as on BestBuy.com on Sunday, Sept. 15.Best Buy

According to Jeff Gordon of HTC, the Metallic Blue HTC One is slightly darker than the Vivid Blue HTC One, which was unveiled last week. Jeff also noted that the software version on each of the Metallic Blue HTC One phones are carrier-dependent, so don’t be surprised if not all versions of the Metallic Blue HTC One are running on the same version of Android and HTC Sense.

PSA: The “Metallic Blue” HTC One announced today is a slightly deeper shade than the “Vivid Blue” announced in Europe last week. Not same.

What exactly does “carrier dependent” mean? Ive been with an iphone for years, and am finally making the decision to go android with the HTC one. I really like the Metallic Blue, but will it be different from the other colors?
